Isaiah 53:7–12

⁷He was abused and punished, 

but he didn’t open his mouth. 

He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. 

He was like a sheep that is silent 

when its wool is cut off. 

He didn’t open his mouth. 

⁸He was arrested, taken away, and judged. 

Who would have thought that he would be removed 

from the world? 

He was killed because of my people’s rebellion. 

⁹He was placed in a tomb with the wicked. 

He was put there with the rich when he died, 

although he had done nothing violent 

and had never spoken a lie. 

¹⁰Yet, it was the Lord’s will to crush him with suffering. 

When the Lord has made his life a sacrifice for our wrongdoings, 

he will see his descendants for many days. 

The will of the Lord will succeed through him. 

¹¹He will see and be satisfied 

because of his suffering. 

My righteous servant will acquit many people 

because of what he has learned ⸤through suffering⸥. 

He will carry their sins as a burden. 

¹²So I will give him a share among the mighty, 

and he will divide the prize with the strong, 

because he poured out his life in death 

and he was counted with sinners. 

He carried the sins of many. 

He intercedes for those who are rebellious.
